In a message, she posted to her Instagram Story, Jones revealed that the GoFundMe was established in part to deter scammers from attempting to capitalize on the deaths of her family members.
“Please stop playing wit me about my baby & baby father,” Jones wrote in part in the message. “Tf ain’t no money shortage on s### and a GoFundMe is posted cause you mfrs couldn’t wait to scam already created cash apps and GoFundMe.”
Jones concluded the post, “F### the whole entire world my baby’s gone disrespect mfrs.”
Earlier this month, Jones also drew heavy criticism from social media users after she shared an emotionally charged live stream expressing her complex feelings about her daughter dying as a result of the shooting at a car wash in Fort Worth. However, rather than conveying sadness, Jones explained to viewers why took pride in how the deceased 5-year-old girl was laid to rest.
“Yeah, y’all ain’t gonna lie, I grieve a little different y’all,” Jones began. “Y’all took my baby, but I’m not muthafuckin’ trippin’ on that s###…”
